May 7, 2010After rolling through Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' first 32 days with close Villains tribe allies Parvati Shallow and Russell Hantz, Survivor's final Tribal Council once again appeared to be within sight for returning Survivor: Panama -- Exile Island runner-up Danielle DiLorenzo.

April 30, 2010Despite being on the losing side of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' first post-merge Tribal Council, things seemed to be looking up for former Heroes tribe member Amanda Kimmel when former Villains outcast Sandra Diaz-Twine agreed to join the Heroes and give them a 5-4 vote advantage at the competition's next Tribal Council.

April 23, 2010"J.T." James Thomas thought he had all angles covered heading into the first Tribal Council after the game's tribal merge, however he was done in by an untrustworthy pseudo-ally in Russell Hantz and an even more underhanded Parvati Shallow.
